Got a couple quarters and a nickel today. They're finally circulating. I haven't seen that loonie yet, though.

What I've noticed with all of the 2016 nickels that I have is that the beads at the 12 o'clock position are not fully struck. It's the same problem that I see with dimes from the mid-2000s. Is this Die Deterioration, or what would this be called?

Libertad, you might want to head over to the variety forum and join the discussion thread there. Post a 5 cent coin if you have one. Word is that there may not be a regular loon coin but as someone suggested in all the years the RCM has produced a circulating commemorative $1, a corresponding regular loon was also issued. https://goccf.com/t/266158

when will we know the mintage for each denomination in 2016? Next annual report from the Mint? What time of the year is it usually released?

@ OttawaVoyageur RCM's 2016 Annual Report will likely be released in about May, 2017, if past years are an indication. As I recall it must be presented to Parliament prior to release to the public, so the date is not firm. If anyone's interested, the 2015 circulation coin mintages have been updated here: http://www.mint.ca/store/mint/about....V7Ht7XjOerU

@wildflowerAB But the mintage figures for the circulation commemorative coins have still not been issued? They were always seperatley listed in the Annual Report in previous years. Alas, not in the 2015 report.

I too, have not seen a 2016 "regular" Loonie. And what about the $2 coin? Has anyone been seeing 2016 in change? I see lots of the nickel, dime, and quarter.

I notice the mintage of circulation commemorative coins is announced via RCM Press Release upon issue. For example the mintage of the 2016 Woman's Right to Vote loonie was 5 million. http://www.mint.ca/store/news/new-o....V7RsCXjOerU

punman- Here in Ontario there seem to be plenty of the new Toonies. I got two yesterday in my change and have gotten several earlier. As far as I know, there has not been a regular Loonie released yet.

That is a sharp looking loonie Denny7000! I think it'd be even nicer w/o the maple leaf security feature.

Received a handful of 2016 quarters in change for the pay phone. Dumped them at Tims for a coffee after I made my calls.

I have found two quarters, two toonies, and one of those Lucky Loonies recently.

I have gotten all circulation denominations, the toonie just yesterday. I've got both of the commemorative loonies, but not the regular design one. Has anyone gotten that one yet?
